Toeplitz Quotient C*-Algebras and Ratio Limits for Random Walks

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study quotients of the Toeplitz C*-algebra of a random walk, similar to those studied by the author and Markiewicz for finite stochastic matrices. We introduce a new Cuntz-type quotient C*-algebra for random walks that have convergent ratios of transition probabilities. These C*-algebras give rise to new notions of ratio limit space and boundary for such random walks, which are computed by appealing to a companion paper by Woess.
